LIVE SAWN HARDWOOD FLOORING
When building or renovating a home, flooring options can leave you feeling overwhelmed. Live sawn flooring is a good option when it comes to upgrading your living room on budget.
How is it made?
Live Sawn is a European approach to cutting lumber. Plain sawn is the modern way of sawing lumber, in which the log is turned till the Sawyer can cut off the clearest board. In live sawn, the logs are sliced directly through without turning the log. Live sawn is the most effective approach of sawing lumber because it utilizes the whole log. Unlike the normal grain that the traditional plain sawn oak reduces, the technology provides a very distinct grain that incorporates all aspects of the log. The grain varies from the quarter sawn on the outdoors to plain sawn in the center.
During the saw milling procedure, we can turn the unfinished Hardwood Flooring into a rare collector’s item. Live Sawn is a cutting technique that our company has introduced. While it is much slower than the conventional cuts, our products are better than what you find in the conventional sawmills. Live sawn is a special way to wood, which combines a vast array of grains from three different cutting methods. These cutting methods include plain sawn, rift sawed, and quarter sawn.
